Abstract
This paper presents the influence of nanocrystallization process on magnetic field dependence of Young's Modulus of Fe74-xCrxCu1Nb3Si13B9 (x=0, 2, 4, 8, 11) alloys. The samples were annealed between 450 degrees C and 600 degrees C for 1 hour under argon atmosphere to induce various nanocrystalline fractions. The variation in the microstructure upon annealing was examined by the X-ray spectrum data. Samples annealed at 500 degrees C or at higher temperature showed nanocrystalline alpha-Fe (Si) phase embedded in amorphous matrix. It was observed that the magnitude of field dependence of Young's modulus varies from 40% to a nearly zero as the saturation magnetostriction is reduced by nano size alpha-Fe(Si) grains. The results are interpreted partly in terms of internal stress relief and reduced magnetostriction in nanocrystalline samples.
